Hi!
Sorry for maybe putting this in the wrong thread, but hope somebody can help me.. :)
A guy came in a guitar repair shop a friend of mine has with a Pensa-Suhr guitar that has been resting in a case in a basement for years.. emg’s, Floyd rose, maple head and a red-burst body..
Does anyone here might know what this could be worth? Condition of the guitar is excellent..

I'd say not less than 10K. Probably more. Do you have pics?

Is it really a Pensa Suhr? Or is it Pensa or Suhr, like seperately? If it's an old Pensa Suhr from the early 90's, just like the one Mark used on OES Tour, I'd say between 10-15k... Nowadays, you can get a standard Pensa for like 7k and a Suhr MK1 for around 4k.

Pensa Suhr! Made in september 1990 with a Anderson neck. The guy who had it wasn't´interested in selling it. He also had his name on the neck, so I understand why.. :)
I have pictures, but I don't want to upload them as long as I haven't got permission :) I will ask!

I own a PensaSuhr and know the market well, more than 10K is correct as someone said
Pensa MK1 and Suhr MK1 have similar value, not 7 to 4 like it has been mentioned

Hello, my name is Afonso Sousa. I´m a professional guitar player and music teacher.
Would the owner be willing to take an offer on his Pensa-Suhr guitar, although his first intention isn´t to sell it? My offer to him: $17.000
Feel free to check out the link below, I lived for five years in New York and in this video am playing with one of the very finest jazz guitarists:

Not a fan of bossa nova but as a Brazilian it’s always good to hear foreigners playing it with excellence.
Well done :clap

Afonso, in case you're willing to pay $17,000 for a Pensa MK I strongly recommend you talk directly with the man himself Rudy Pensa. With that kind of money I believe you can buy a brand new one from his shop - and maybe even customize it to an extent!

Well not right now, but since I can't play at all because of major wrists problems it's possible I will sell it in the future, Send me your email privately so we can keep in touch

First of all the original MK1 was built by John Suhr, Pensa provided only the woods.
I have many friends who own a new Pensa MK1 or Suhr MK1 with all the right spec (similar/identical to the original), you can buy them right now for about 6-7K euros, both sound great
but
To be honest when you buy a PensaSuhr you have 2 major plus, first of all the wood is almost 30 years old which is much better than owning a new guitar and then you have something which is extremely difficult to buy/own while you can buy a new Pensa or a new Suhr just by calling them, a 2-3x price is appropriate.
